1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

When the investigation team led by Captain Chen was tracing the ins and outs of the matter, the clues gradually pointed to Director Wang of the Street Office.

In particular, the deaf old lady's status as a five-guarantee household seems extremely strange.

According to Boss Hu, the deaf old lady used to be a brothel owner, but she claimed to be a martyr's relative and claimed that she had donated straw sandals to the Red Army, and thus became a five-guarantee household.

This series of events was so strange that Captain Chen couldn't help but feel that there was something fishy going on behind this deaf old lady.

Captain Chen knew very well that if Yi Zhonghai was arrested easily, the deaf old lady might use her connections to stop the whole thing.

This put Captain Chen in a dilemma, and he couldn't find a proper solution no matter how hard he thought.

At this moment of dilemma, Captain Chen suddenly thought of Li Weiguo.

At this moment, he really wanted to hear Li Weiguo's opinion on this matter, so he came to Li's house that night.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Captain Chen saw Li Weiguo's younger brothers walking into the courtyard, talking and laughing. It seemed that they had just returned from fishing.

Captain Chen's eyes fell on the bucket they were carrying. He saw fish of all sizes and good and bad in it, but it was a good harvest, with the bucket full.

When the children saw Captain Chen coming in, they all greeted him politely: "Hello, Uncle Chen!"

When Li Dajiang saw Captain Chen, he was stunned at first, then a smile broke out on his face and he went up to him: "Captain Chen, you are here, come in and sit down."

Li Dajiang drove the children to the back room to play, and then sat down in the room with Captain Chen.

He poured a glass of water for Captain Chen, and the two of them started talking while drinking water.

What Li Dajiang didn't expect was that Captain Chen didn't directly state his purpose, but instead asked tactfully if Li Weiguo was there.

Li Dajiang put down the cup and said with a smile: "This kid is very busy these days, leaving early and returning late every day."

Li Dajiang was indeed not lying. Ever since Li Weiguo gave the villagers seedlings, he has completely let himself go.

He would ride his bike out for the whole day. Anyway, his second uncle's job was to take his younger brothers fishing or get supplies from the black market, so he no longer interfered with Li Dahe's whereabouts.

Li Dahe also established a deep revolutionary friendship with Wang Dafa from the Cotton Textile Factory.

The two often went to the countryside to purchase goods together, and Li Dahe learned a lot of valuable experience from Wang Dafa.

When Li Weiguo came back every day, he would occasionally bring back some things, sometimes food, sometimes roast duck or meat buns. Anyway, the Li family was used to it because he had everything.

Captain Chen frowned slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Oh? Then what does he do all day?"

Li Dajiang smiled and said, "I don't know much either, I just know that he goes out every day."

At this moment, the room fell into a brief silence.

Captain Chen took a sip of water and broke the silence, saying, "Okay, since Li Weiguo is not at home, I won't stay any longer. When he is free, let him come to my place and sit down."

Li Dajiang naturally understood what Captain Chen meant, and did not try to persuade him to stay. He personally escorted Captain Chen out the door: "Captain Chen, take care. I will definitely pass on the message to Weiguo."

After Captain Chen left, Li Dajiang stood at the door, looking at his receding back, feeling even more worried.

It is said that Boss Hu has been arrested for many days, and he doesn't know how Captain Chen's investigation is going. He vaguely feels that Captain Chen came today because of Boss Hu's matter.

Although Captain Chen did not mention it directly, he had a feeling that Captain Chen must have encountered some difficulties.

When Li Weiguo came back, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Dajiang told him that Captain Chen had been there.

Li Weiguo wiped his sweat and said, "Captain Chen is looking for me? It seems that this matter is not simple."

Li Weiguo and Li Dajiang had the same idea. They both subconsciously thought that Captain Chen must have encountered a difficult problem.

The next day, Li Weiguo went to the police station to find Captain Chen.

When Captain Chen saw Li Weiguo, a trace of relief appeared on his face: "Nephew Weiguo, you are here."

Li Weiguo asked straight to the point, "Uncle Chen, my father said you came to my house yesterday. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Captain Chen did not hide anything and told Li Weiguo all his doubts about the deaf old lady and the difficulties encountered in the current investigation.

Li Weiguo frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Captain Chen, we can't rush this matter. The relationship behind the deaf old lady is complicated, and it really requires long-term consideration."

"Although Yi Zhonghai likes to scheme, he can only use Boss Hu. He will not hand over his handle to other people. I predict that he will not act rashly. Uncle Chen should send someone to secretly monitor Yi Zhonghai, and investigate the others slowly!"

Captain Chen nodded: "I thought so too, that's why I wanted to hear your opinion."

Li Weiguo paced back and forth in the room, analyzing: "We must first find solid evidence and not alert the enemy. Moreover, we must guard against the counterattack of the people behind the deaf old lady. If we can't catch them all in one fell swoop, taking action now would be tantamount to alerting the enemy!"

Captain Chen agreed: "You are right, where should we start next?"

Li Weiguo thought for a while and said, "I think we should dig deeper from Boss Hu to see if we can find more powerful clues. For example, some key figures, maybe because of an inadvertent clue, we can find out the truth of the whole matter!"

In this way, the two discussed for a long time in the house and made plans for the next step.

At this time, the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai were still unaware that a tight legal net was quietly approaching them...

The Li family's courtyard has been under repair non-stop, and it looks different every day. Grandpa Li and grandma Li go over every day to watch the workers work.

Li Dajiang didn't want the two elderly people to work hard, but he couldn't stop their enthusiasm.

In the end, Li Dajiang could only let the two old people run back and forth.

During this period, the relationship between He Yuzhu and Chen Lanxiang has developed by leaps and bounds, and today they are going to prepare the betrothal gifts.

In that era, it was difficult to get food and drink in the countryside. Who would have extra money to marry a wife or give a dowry? Most of the time, half a bag of grain was enough to marry a wife, and those who could afford it would only give a dowry of two yuan.

However, He Yuzhu attached great importance to his marriage with Chen Lanxiang, and he paid a full ten yuan as a betrothal gift.

He also gave the Chen family four pounds of meat, two chickens, two fish, two bottles of wine, two pieces of cloth, and two packs of cigarettes. All six gifts were in double portions.

Such a betrothal gift simply shocked everyone in the Chen family. When Chen Lanxiang's parents saw it, they couldn't stop smiling.

On the day of my betrothal gift, all the villagers gathered outside the Chen family's yard to watch the fun.

As the matchmaker for the two, Wang Dahua was very honored today. She held the wedding candy that He Yuzhu had prepared in advance and distributed it among the crowd.

When the villagers received wedding candies, there was a constant stream of blessings. He Yuzhu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and kept bowing to the villagers.

"Let's celebrate together. Everyone, please feel free to have some candy!"
